the Sala de RecibO Without Which Nc
Mexican Mansion Is Complete.
Every Mexican house has its sGZ0 de
'ecibo, Geception room), of more or
:css magnidcehce. 1t may not contain
much furniture, but is always the
.argest room in the house, generally Of
immense proportions, being long and
narrow like a town hall. The artistic
beauty of its softly tinted halls, painted
with fresco outlines or the natural
grayish plaster left unadorned, con-
;rasted with the floor of shining cement
Or dark-red tiles, is extremely pleasing
20 the eye The Mexican house-mother
according to the sweet German rem
lering of the word-has other ideas
than ours in the arrangement OF her
furniture. There are always straight
rows of chairs and sofas stand
ing stifiy all around the great room,
as. if set for funeral or a ''lodge"
meeting. Though there are few oc-
casions in life (or death) when such
surprising number of seats could posi-
bly, be required, the family feels itself
poor, indeed, who does not possess a
sufficient number of them to extend in
an unbroken line around the entire cir
cult Of the sd!G.
Into each corner OF the room tri-
angular table is fitted; and in the center
is a larger one, with a row of empty
vases and alleged ornaments in glass
and china, ranged at regular distances
straight around the outer edge. This
table is generally covered with a
crocheted or knitted spread which
sweeps the floor. 1t represents vast
expenditure Of precious eye-sight and
hundreds of spools Of fine thread, for
the mistress of the manse began it
when child, and finished it only in
ti1ne for her wedding. OF necessity
there is lack of all those little orna-
ments which American ladies so delight
in-brackets, easels, -brac, ETC..
because here the demands of the GUS
tom-house on all such articles place
them beyond the reach Of any but the
most wealthy. Each corner table,
however, like that in the center, is
loaded with glass lamps and china
vases, which are valued for ornament
rather than use. Huge bouquets Of
paper flowers sometimes enter into the
decorations, but blossoms made by
Mother Nature are seldom seen within
doors Chromos aud engravings ap-
pear but sparingly, if at all, because
the duties on them render pictures ex-
tremely expensiye-a chrome dreadful
enough to set ones teeth on edge,
which might be bought, frame and all,
for a couple Of dollars i'll any 9th er
country, here costs as much as & de-
cent oil painting.
At the extreme end Of the sazG lie
qeci6o, furthest from the entrance,
precisely the same arrangement of
furniture is found in every house-a
rug Or square Of carpet. with two lines
Of chairs, placed close together. VISA
Wis, upon it, This little island, in Che
sea of the big, bare room, is bounded on
the further side by the sofa, against the
wall; and to this particular spot guests
are conducted with great ceremony on
entering--for here the hostess concen-
trates all her social forces, as the con-
ductors OF spiritual seances and revival
meetings understand the art OF doing.

Among the valuable exchanges of ths

Of Negaunee, Michigan. In the issue
Of that journal of January 9th is
found an item Of particular In
terest to a CantOnian, for three
years a resident of Negaunee,
Mr.. John 7. Hays. Mr.. Hays was from
1881 to 1884 General Superintendent Of
the Wheat Mining Company and Ii

The DEMOCRAT congratulates him upon
his good fortune:
The Wheat Mining Company has been
particularly fortunate this winter In the
development Of their property. Within
the past few weeks discovery Of hema.
tite has been made some two hundred
feet north Of the present opening, that
promises to be the most valuable OF
anything yet opened. The new find Ia
within few feet Of the track on the
north side. At present the shaft or pit
ls down 25 feet In ore and Is thus far
known to be % feet wide, and presuma
bly, wider, as no wall on either side
has been reached.
L tile is known of the length beyond
the fact that pit go feet to the west Is
bOtt0med In the same class Of ore
According to analysis, taken by Cleve
land chemists, the ore Is high In iron
ard first-class In all respects. There Is
but 21s feet Of stripping upon the ore
which with the advantage OF its lOca-
tiOn along the track, renders the new
discovery OF more than usual Valus. In
addition to this, diamond drill being
operated a few yards north of the old
hard ore pit, had penetrated body OF
hard ore to the depth of 10 feet on Sat
urday last.
Captain Pr0ut, who has charge of the
explorations, Is much elated at the pros
pect, and Is full Of faith that the Wheat
Is destined to become one Of the largest
producing properties In the county.
The old workings, or that operated for
the past two or three years, Is looking
quite as we'll as at any time since il
was Opened-in fact Is In shape to pro.
duce more ore during the current year
than before.

twenty years at hard labor in the mines
Of Jakutsk, and In August, 1854, with
l2O fellow prisoners, was taken to 81
beria BY Russian troops. But few men
sent to Siberia ever return, but the am
nesty Of 1871 restored this gentleman In
1872 to his home and family after a
flightful existence Of eight years In
the famous mines, where to be sen.

People h1cked to the Schaefer
residence, on North Market street and
found Mr.. Schaefer as lively and youth
full as ne was seen upon the streets sat
urday night. Mr.. Sehaefer, although
man Of 20 years, possesses the life and
energy Of an active man Of thirty, and
he was surprised to hear Of the acts Of
vandalism of which he was the victim,
and will spare no effort to bring the
perpetrators of the outrage to justice. 1t
is generally believed that the tragedisn,
Daniel E. Bandmann Of Jersey City, is
the author of the deed. He played in
Scbaefsr's Opera House last Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday at cheap prices
to poor houses. Tuesday night he re-
fused to take his part and had one Of bis
company take his place because Mana
ger Schaefer refused to change the ad'
Vertlsed price of admission. During the
performance Bandmann made himself OBJ
nOxiOus In the auditorium and Manager
SChaefer pGt him out. Bandmann then
abused the city, the people and especial
ly Mr.. Schaefer to people about the
hotel Hurf0rd, where he and his COM
pany stopped.
Thursday, Friday aud Saturday nights
Bandmann played In Mansfield, and at 3
o'clock Sunday morning he and his COM
DRny arrived here and at 8 O'Clock took
the morning train ION the Valley rail-
road for Cleveland, en- route for Boston.
Up to 3 o'clock Sunday morning the
death notices were not posted, and as
some Of them are unmistakably written
In Bsndmann's handwriting the charge
is laid stl his door.
Mayor Rex and q number Of other
citizens, also the DEMOCRAT, are In
receipt OF inquiries by mail to. day ask
ing the particulars of Mr.. Schaefer's
death. These inquiries can be best re-
piled by sending marked copies Of to-
days DEMOCRAT.

Something About the First Circulating
Library in Canton

Something About the First Circulating
Library in CantOnI
It was soon after the close Of the las {,
war with England, that a number of the
more intelligent and ambitious men OF
Canton conceived the idea of getting u .
circulating library. After several
preliminary meetings and discussions
ways and means suggested. 1t was inal
ly agreed that the cost should be divided
into shares Of SO each, which would en-
title the holder to the use Of book for
two weeks. A number of the members
took several shares, and when sufficient
money was raised one OF the merchants
Of town was commissioned to make the
purchase In Philadelphia. Canton then
contained q population Of thousand OF
twelve hundred. The following is lisl
Of the stockholders as near as can be
sscertalned: James w. LsthrOp, John
Harris, Orlando Metcalf, John Sloan, DR.
Rsppe, DR.. JerOw, DR.. BOnfield, William
Christmas, Samuel Coulter, Villa IL
Reynolds, John SaxtOn, George 9tidger,
Andrew Meyer, Thomas HurfOrd, John
Slusser, George Dunbar, Winans Clark
A case was made for the books and they
were kept In the Clerks Office, William
Reynolds, then County Clerk, acting as
Librarian.
The following Is the list as near as
can be made out:
Rollins Ancient History"
"Sturm's Reflections"
Letters of Junius."
"Hume's History Of England"
"RobertsOn's History of America"
memoirs of Benjamin franklin"
"Marshall's Life Of Washington.
Locke on Human UNDERSTANDING"
"Riley's Narrative"
"Burke's Dignity Of Man."
watts improvement Of the Mind"
"The Spectator"
"Gibbon's Roman Empire"
"Flint's Indian Wars of the West"
"RandOlph's Memoirs Of Jefferson ,
"AbercrOmble's Moral Feeling"
"Rush on the Mind"
Brooks Gazetteer"
Novels were not 80 abundant then a,
now, nor had the taste for reading them
been acquired to such an extent. There
were but few In the library, and yet
they we're about all that had been heaTC
Of in the west. GOldsmith's Vicar OF
Wakefield, Fielding's Tom Jones, SmOi'
lett's Perigrine Pickle, Swift's Jonathan
Wild, Miss POrter's Scottish Chiefs an5
Thaddeus Of Warsaw, about constituted
the lot.
The women were not educated theI
as now, consequently had not cultivated
the taste fox reading. The adult piOus
ly inclined, confined their reading Il
the Bible, and the young, to the study Of
the catechism.
The library continued In existence
until about 1880. when the books wert
divided among the stockholders. A few
are still In existence, but the bulk have
gone glimmering through the dresmt
of things that were."

RAILROAD WAR ENDED.

The PennsylvsEis Company Knocked Out
at Alliance
A n mber of Alliance people came
over to Canton this morning as wit
nesses In the ejectment case Of the
Pennsylvania Company va. Joseph Grs-
ham. This Is case which has excited
considerable interest in Alliance, in
VoIVing the property Of several citizens.
There Is a short street running east and
west along the north II OF the COM
pany's ground, where the P, F. w. g.
@. crosses the Q, 8 P, on which num-
ber of ps0ple, JDsepb Graham included,
haV- bu 1t residences. Some time ago
the railroad company attempted to lay
q switch In this street, claiming that
the ground upon which 1t was located
was a part of the company's grounds
and covered In their deeds. The ALI
ance Council declared war at once and
called out the fire department, hitched
their hose to the water plugs and sWOre
by the big horn spcOn that they would
blow the railroad company over
into Pennsylvania, IL they dared to
lay another tie. The railroad company

uAAO 0Au q VAuOO W0o O0AACA' 4hO OAVy
Council In the mean time succeeded In
getting an injunction and there the
matter rested until the courts should de-
eide which was right. II seems that the
cause of the trouble was as to the inter-
probation of the title deed which the
railroad company holds. On the same
day in which the deed for the right Of
way was given to the company, another
deed was drawn describing tract of
land beginning at the north line of the
railroad track at a certain point, thence
north 100 feet, thence east, etc. The
company claimed that the north line of
the "rsilrOad track" as specified In the
deed, meant the north line Of their right
of way conveyed to them on the same
day, while the city took the ground that
1t meant literally the north
rail Of the main line Of
track then In use. When the
case came up for trial to-day, closer
scrutiny of the deed showed that the
property in dispute was not the proper.
ty described In the deed, owing to some
error In the description, probably.
Hence q verdict was rendered for the
defendent, and Mr.. Graham went home
satisfied. There are still several cases
pending involving the same difficulties
but In all probability an amlcable sd-
justment Of the matter will now be
effected.

An Outrage too II F;ible to Contemplate
Committed In Alliance.
One Of the most revolving crimes ever
committed In this section OF the state
has just been unearthed at Alliance, the
enOrmity Of which almost passes be-
lief. On Sunday Tom Donphy, Q young
tough about % years Of age, was ar
rested and thrown into the city
lookup, charged with the crime
Of 0utraging the person Of Su-
sic McElrOy, aged nine years. A
DEMOCRAT reporter Investigated the
matter and was put In possession Of the
following details:
The victim of the crime is very deli
cate child of nine years, small for her
age and an orphan, who has been resid.
ing with Mrs. Ryan, of East Alliance,
commonly known as Irishtcwn, since
the death Of her parents. About six or
eight weeks ago DOnphy found the little
girl alone at Mrs. Ryans and, by present
Ing her q little pocket book, quarter of
a dollar, and telling her of two OF three
other little pirls like her, who allowed
his familiarities, succeeded In making
her the victim of his hellish lust.
Before leaving the house he ferCely
threatened her with fearful whipping
In case she told anyone of his conduct.
The timid child In fear Of the threatened
whipping faithfully kept the terrible
secret, nltil few weeks ago boy &C.
quaintance got wilma of the affair and
questioned her. Her answers confirmed
his suspicious and he informed Mrs.
Ryan of the state Of affairs, but In some
way the matter was again hushed up for
the time. But the crime was
bound to come out, and q
few days ago, Mrs. McElroy an
aunt of the child, engaged In the
Russell House at Alliance, got an Ink
ling Of the rumOr and had an interview
with the child, who told her the whole
story. Mrs. McElroy then took council
Of Esq. Fording and on her affidavit the
young man was arrested and jailed.
This morning medical examination,
conducted BY DR.. Heaton, was made
and the child was found In q terrible
condition, the result Of her in
juries, and undoubted proof, was
obtained, cOrr0b0rating the statement
Of the little girl. Mrs. McElroy, the
aunt Of the child, is an honest woman,
who makes her living by hard work, and
Is determined that the wretch shall be
brought to justice. The crime having
been committed In Mahoning county, q
hearing will be had before Justice Card,
Of Smith Township tomorrow.

BURNING OIL
Sets Fire to Mr., j. @, stockburgsr's Resi-.

Sets Fire to Mr j. q, StOckburgsr's Resi-
dsnce---S6OO Damage.
At l0:4O o'clock this morning a teIe.
phOne message from the residence of Mr.
j. q. StOckbuTger, the fertilizer manu-
tactnrer, at the intersection of tho
Louisville and Harrisburg roads called
the steamer, hose cart and hook gnd
alder companies to the house, which
was then on FIRE.
Mr.. Stockburger Is old and partly
paralyzed and is slow In his movements.
This morning little after ten o'clock
ne placed a can of cold and thick
oil upon the stove In the basement
Kitchen to thaw out, while he went up
stairs to talk to his neighbor, MIR. John
Trump, who had just stepped In. While
thus engaged the oil thawed out, got hot
and began burning. The burning oil
soon communicated fire to the wood and
flames crept up along the fue and
made their appearance In a bed room,
on the second floor skipping the room
on the first floor. The fire
had considerable hesdway when dis
covered. The neighbOrs were called out
and WORKED hard as a bucket brigade,
before the tireman arrived, exhausting
the contents of the house cistern.
As s0On as the fTemen arrived the
steamer drew water from the creek be-
low the house, and was soon sending q
sturdy stream of water on the burning
building. The Babcocks were
used, but the fire had grown
too large to be much affected by them.
In about half an hour the fire was put
out. The fremen returned to the Cen
tral Engine House at 1915 o'clock.
The damage by fire and water is about
$500, covered by $1,000 insurance.
The excitement incident to the fire
gave Mr.. S:Ockb0rger severe nervous
shock,
